Additionally, all Beetle, Beetle Convertible and Jetta models are adding the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which was already added as standard equipment on the Touareg and Golf models. This safety system uses information from the air bag sensors to help prevent secondary collisions.

Analysis of crash data in Germany revealed that around 14 percent of accidents involve a secondary collision after an initial impact. As a result, Volkswagen engineers designed the system to help avoid them.

With a re-alignment of trim lines throughout the MY 2016 lineup, rearview cameras are now fitted as standard to more than 85 percent of Volkswagen models.
